From a young age, I was fascinated by film. The Visuals of movies like Lord of the Rings and Jurassic park stuck with me while I was growing up in Eighty Four, PA. I started to realize how much cinematography can change the mood of the story. While in school I was constantly thinking about making films. I later made the decision to pursue filmmaking which lead me to go to Point Park University where I got my bachelors degree in Cinema Productions with a concentration in cinematography. Since then I’ve worked on a number of films and with various artists such as Grammy award-winning artist Daya. I love bringing great stories to life and working with directors to make strong visuals through lighting and camera work.

Hey! I'm Nina. I am a lover of all things food, fun, and finding things off the beaten path. I have planned many trips over the years, all over the country, as well as some over the seas travel for the husband and myself. I enjoy thoroughly researching wherever we are going, and plan most of it around food. I'm definitely more of a small town charm gal, rather than a big city girl. I spent ten plus years in the restaurant industry, front and back of the house, which gives me a deeper appreciation when dining out and supporting local businesses. Right now, I am a freelance food stylist, and part-time content creator. I also have my own little fresh pasta business that I started about a year ago. On my off time, you can find me binging anything on Bravo with my dogs. :)
